Monday: Back to Work

It's 7:30PM here, about 1230 back home. Class ended at 6PM, dinner ended at 6:30, and about 5 or 6 workaholics are back here in the lab with me, working away. It's 7:30PM here, about 1230 back home.

I thought everyone would have been tired today after our weekend in Munich, but we were all on time and working hard at 8AM this morning. The field of competition was set up in the back of our classroom while we were away -- seeing it here and waiting for us gave everyone a little bit of a charge, I think. The competition isn't that far away.

Dejan, as usual, has been the fountain of all knowledge.

Here are pictures of some of the teams. I didn't take pictures of every team because (a) they move around too quickly, and (b) I was getting on people's nerves with all the picture-taking. (I enjoyed it, though!)

Which Team(must be an inside joke)

Quadrameads

'Batteries Not Included' Team

The robots are starting to run; sensors are locking on to their targets; people are starting to trash talk. Should be a good competition!--FMK
